Chapter 8 Prepare to live your own life

After saying this, the sisters-in-law came to their senses. There were only two thatched houses, and indeed there was no kitchen.

I couldn't help but sigh to myself again, these two dogs are really lazy.

The people in the village are all hard-working, and since they are one of us, when they see Qin Zichang cleaning up the house, and there are people in the family who can help, they all spontaneously come out to help.

Qin Zhiyi is not stingy either. She bought a lot of candy cakes when she went to town earlier. She would give two pieces to every child she saw in the village.

As for those who came to help, she also served them with the white noodles she bought so that they could eat well.

Mrs. Qin Zhuang saw that her daughter was well received by her uncles and cousins ​​who were helping her. She felt deeply that her daughter had indeed changed a lot over the years.

It wasn't a lot of work, and there were a lot of people helping me. After three or five days of busy work, I finally got everything done.

On the two pieces of land in front of the house, Qin Zhiyi burned the weeds directly, firstly to make cleaning easier, and secondly, the ashes of the grass and trees can fertilize the soil.

Seeing that the cleaned house and the two plots of land were finally in decent condition, Qin Zhiyi felt happy.

The house is all cleaned, but it looks a little empty.

With the help of several sisters-in-law, a group of people found wheat husks and moist soil to make mud, and then mixed the mud with wheat straw to make adobe.

Therefore, the mopped adobes are all drying in the yard and on the road. Once the adobes are almost cool, they can be used to build a kitchen.

Building a kitchen is a big project, and you have to take your time later.

After the work of repairing the house was finished, she asked her brothers to go back and rest.

As for the sisters-in-law, they helped haul the adobe and then sent them back to do their own business.

Calculated this way, the total cost of buying a house, land, and repairing the house was just over six taels of silver.

Because her brothers helped, she really saved a lot of money.

The remaining money will need to be spent on buying things and building houses.

She knew that a person should repay kindness, and she would always remember the kindness her brothers treated her.

As for the accounts of the Li family, she also wrote them down one by one.

It's not that she doesn't want to retaliate, but that she is recharging her energy. When her side is settled and the opportunity is right, the hardships she has endured and the sins suffered by the original owner will definitely be repaid to them twice as much.

Now the house is tidied up and can barely be lived in, but the items inside have not been purchased yet.

The thatched house of Qin Ergou's house only contained a table, two benches, a bed, and not much else.

She still had to go to town to buy some.

After being so busy these days, I still make do with living at my parents' house. The bed is so crowded that it's really not enough room.

Seeing that it was still early, Qin Zhiyi entrusted the brother and sister to his sister-in-law and the others to take care of them, and then went to the village to find an oxcart.

People in the village are very friendly when meeting each other, and Qin Zhiyi is more open-minded than the original owner and greets everyone when she sees her. Therefore, within a few days, everyone in the village has become very familiar with her.

He said he wanted to find a bullock cart, so the second uncle directly brought his old scalper to use it.

Just when Qin Zhiyi was about to get him a copper plate, his second uncle immediately scowled: "My niece wants to use a bullock cart, how can I collect the money? If you really want to thank your uncle, just treat me to a bowl of rice later."

Qin Zhi was stubborn, so he had no choice but to agree with him.

After the two of them broke up, they got on the bullock cart and headed to the town.

The ox-cart was no more time-consuming than the horse-drawn carriage. She set off right after breakfast. By the time she got to town, it was already noon.

Anyway, it was already meal time, so she was not in a hurry and ordered two bowls of noodles directly. Five cents was spent on filling a large bowl. She also specially added a bowl of wontons for Uncle Qin. Uncle Qin saw the large bowl in front of him.

Noodles and a bowl of wontons made me feel distressed again.

"You talk about your child, I just want a bowl of rice, you can just make me a bowl of noodles, and you make so much and spend all this money..."

Qin Zhiyi smiled: "I have to eat even if my second uncle doesn't. Besides, I might have to use your ox cart in the future."

After hearing what she said, Uncle Qin immediately waved his hand: "This is not a trivial matter. From now on, if you want to use a bullock cart, just go to my house."

After the two of them finished eating the noodles, she didn't dare to delay.

There was a shop selling bedding in the town, and it was the closest one. Qin Zhiyi was the first to buy four beddings.

One bed was used as a cover, and the remaining two beds were kept at home. I also tore cloth to make two sheets. Even if the two children are older, they still have to sleep in separate beds. After a long trip to the town, I was able to buy them all.

Just buy it all at once.

After buying it, Qin Zhiyi asked the shopkeeper to help her tie it up with a rope. Qin Zhiyi was generous and the shopkeeper was willing to help her, tying two quilts together.

Uncle Qin saw her carrying so many things and immediately came to help.

After putting the things on the bullock cart, she said to Second Uncle Qin: "Second Uncle, just look at the things here first, and I'll go buy something else."

Uncle Qin nodded and reached out to touch the bedding placed on the ox cart. The bedding was made of cotton and was soft and warm.

He thought, it would be winter soon, and such a bedding would be comfortable to cover.

Seeing Qin Zhiyi buying four beddings at once, he had to sigh. After all, he came from a wealthy family and still had money.

After buying the bedding, there is a grocery store not far ahead, specializing in pots and pans.

I bought four pairs of bowls and chopsticks, but the shopkeeper said they come in pairs, and it would be unlucky to buy three pairs of them.

Qin Zhiyi didn't care, bought something and walked out.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around while carrying something, I bumped into someone.

The man was tall and tall and wore ordinary coarse linen clothes.

Qin Zhiyi didn't pay much attention. The first thing she worried about was the pots and pans she was carrying. Most of them were made of ceramics and would be useless if they fell.

Fortunately, a big hand caught her steadily, so that the things she was carrying would not fall to the ground.

Qin Zhiyi secretly rejoiced and said thank you.

When his eyes fell on the other person's face, he was slightly startled.

What a handsome man.

But it was only for a moment that Qin Zhiyi withdrew his gaze and kept a distance from the man in front of him. No matter how handsome he was, he was still not a wild man from the countryside.

"You're welcome."

Fei Chengsheng also glanced at Qin Zhiyi in front of him.

She was dressed in coarse linen clothes and had a simple hairpin on her head, but she looked more delicate than the village women he saw along the way.

His eyes quickly fell on the pile of pots and pans that the other party was carrying, and then he frowned slightly.

With such a thin waist and such a thin woman, can she carry so many things?

He really wanted to help, but then he thought that doing more would be better than doing less. Besides, it was not convenient for him to reveal his identity during this trip, so he looked away.

He also came here four years ago.

At that time, he had just been sent back after serving as a proton in the enemy country for ten years.

He thought he would no longer suffer humiliation when he came back, but who knew that the humiliation he had suffered over the years was not worth mentioning in the eyes of his father.

He was walking on thin ice in the enemy's country. After he came back, even the group of people sent to pick him up had ulterior motives.

Fortunately, he has developed a vigilant mentality during these years in the enemy's country, and even if he is in a desperate situation, he can still escape from danger.

He had endured the burden for four years and had a place in the entire court. Not long ago, under his father's instructions on his deathbed, he assisted the eldest prince in ascending to the throne.

The overall situation in the DPRK has been decided, and he returned here precisely to find the person who saved his life four years ago.

Thinking of this, Fei Chengsheng's eyes fell on the slender figure again. He didn't lift his feet until the figure walked to the bullock cart not far away carrying things.

Qin Zhiyi was completely unaware of this. He put the pots and pans on the oxcart, then turned around and went to the butcher shop to buy some meat and pig meat.

The pigs were used to refine the oil, and the meat was given as a reward to the brothers and sisters-in-law who helped with the work. After all, they helped with the work during this period and were really tired. So I bought some meat and cooked it to supplement them.

In addition, she bought some food on the way, after all, it was not easy to make a trip with an oxcart.
